Please Help A Dying Dwarf Star...
Fact: I'm late 30's pushing 40.
Fact I'm a fckdup bustard hanging onto 1980-early-something
Fact Too much erm.. abuse has taken out my concentration/coordination
Fact I need a quick way to get a 'Docking Computer' before my love of computers generally, dies altogether
Sorry guys, but I ain't that young kid with (almost) countless brain cells to destroy anymore.
So, is there a hack to get the docking computer? I need to progress before i die...

Sir, you are truely great! (doth's cap)Rxke wrote:Yes, change your savefile. Open it in a texteditor, not Word but a simple texteditor that doesn't add hidden markupstuff etc...
search for something like (can't access my own savefile right now, so approx)
....<key> has dockingcomputers: false
change it to 'true'...
Yes, that work's a treat. If there was a little more tolerance for a little 'scraping' here and there I would have been happy to continue manual docking as it would have been still been fun and purposeful. Currently it's just too tight for my lack of patience and skill.
I like a beer induced fuzzy, warm glow when taking command of the sumptuous leather
helm and hence progress need to be fairly swift to maintain interest!
Thankyou greatly.

Sell your MkIII and get a cheaper ship equipped with DC. It is fair at least.capt.Pirk wrote:Fact: I'm late 30's pushing 40.

An old space philosopher once said "if you can't dock without a computer, then you shouldn't be in space at all". I think it was Rafe Zetter. Or it may have been Bill Gates.capt.Pirk wrote:Fact: I'm late 30's pushing 40.

Ah, of course, that's what I always do when I start out, buy an MkII-X (From Aegidian's X-ships Addon)ArkanoiD wrote:Sell your MkIII and get a cheaper ship equipped with DC. It is fair at least.
...And then deck it out with the spare change.
or simply learn how to dock with the coriolis.you will feel extatic when you will be able to
just take the beacon in target get realy close to it and then face the coriolis entrance.when you get near the entrance lower your speed to half or less and begin spinning in the opposite direction the coriolis is to compensate.presto u`re in (or dead )

I`ll either find a way or make one!
Lol
Thx guys,
Well, first I will try cutlist's tip on station line-up and see how I get on.
Second, I will downgrade and deckout (if neccessary) and revert commander profile.
I didn't realise that I could immediately sell my ship!
Laters
Btw, I have only 'proof of concept' the docking hack locally at Lave (i.e. no profit)...

Interesting, I always have (in Elite and in Oolite) spun with the station, so that as I fly in we are on a level plane (so to speak)... Surely opposite direction would make it harder?cultist wrote:or simply learn how to dock with the coriolis.you will feel extatic when you will be able to

The act of talking b*ll*cks whilst waving one's arms about wildly is referred to as testiculation.
